About This Treatment

Carpal tunnel release surgery divides the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve, resolving numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Chinese hand surgery centers offer both open and endoscopic techniques with excellent outcomes. This outpatient procedure provides rapid symptom relief for patients who have failed conservative management.
